b. 41-43
As in the previous bars, the pedal asterisks in A are inconsistent and accidental – most of them are after the 3rd crotchet in a given half of the bar; some under (the 2nd in b. 41) or before (in b. 43). FE (→EE) did not reproduce that notation; however, it is also here that the differences in the placement seem to be of an accidental nature, particularly since some asterisks were placed inaccurately, hence it is difficult to determine whether they were to be placed under a given note or after it (the majority of the marks fall after the 3rd crotchet; however, in the 1st half of b. 42-43 they were placed under the note). In GE, the marks were placed under or slightly before the note; nevertheless, the differences are so insignificant that we consider all of them to be falling under the note, and this is the version we adopt to the main text (see also b. 36-39).
